This paper concerns the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.Again oil is a big industry, the extraction of it can be risky and not only is the risk borne by the workers, but also the environment, local fishing businesses and affiliated tourism industry. These are mass tort cases and involve environmental regulations. Have we learned anything since the Exxon Valdez spill? Did we do anything differently when the BP Oil Spill occurred? This will be our second and last exercise with environmental regulations. BP has been trying to use court challenges to get out of what they agreed to in public several years ago. There are recent headlines about this. What did the courts say? The Oil & Gas segment is a big part of our local industry in Texas and so is there a way to balance competing interests here?
